NINE FIREBUGS SHOT
DOWN IN PALMETTO
Blacks Charged With Arson
Summarily Punished.
STATE TROOPS CALLED ON
Mayor of the Little Georgia Town,
Fearing an Attack by Negroes on
Whites In Retaliation, Asks Gover
nor Caadlrr For Help.
Palmetto, Ga , March 36.— A mob
of masked men stormed the little house
doing service as a jail here at an early
hour this morning and shot uiue ne
groes. Four were killed outright and
the other five are badly wounded. The
negroes were held for the burning of
the town, three fires since Jan. 1 having
nearly completely destroyed it.
The mob rode into the town about 1
o’clock. The little house which is be
ing used as a jail since the fire was
near the center of the town. The guard
was called on to turn over the nine ne
groes held there for trial on the charge
of arson. He refused and awakened his
assistants. They were quickly over
powered, however, and with a rush the
whitecaps made for the prisoners, who
had been awakened by the noise out
side. They began begging for mercy,
but were shot down quickly.
Governor Candler was called on for
troops about 4 o’clock to allay the ap
prehension here and put down any up
rising.
The militia arrived from Atlanta at 11
o’clock and immediately reported to
Mayor Arnold. They were distributed
around the streets to preserve order.
No trouble is feared, yet the mayor
wished to be prepared in case there is
an outbreak tonight.
Governor Oanaler has issued a proc
lamation offering a reward of SSOO “for
the apprehension and delivery of the
first member of the mob and a further
reward of SIOO for each additional per
son implicated” in the killing of the
negroes.
The governor said:
“I regard the outrage as simply inex
cusable. These men had been arrested,
as I am informed, and prdof was at
hand to convict them. The law was
amply able to punish them. Such out
rages must stop in Georgia. I will try
to see to it that the members of that
mob are prosecuted to the limit.”
Tennesseeans Ordered Home.
Washington, March 22.—The trans
port Dixie has been ordered to proceed
with haste from New York to Trinidad
to bring home the Fourth Tennessee.
General Brooke has been directed to

PATRICK WALSH DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Former Senator and Mayor of
Augusta Expires.
WELL KNOWN JOURNALIST
He Came to This Country From Irc
lnnd Wh'-u a Hoy and Rose Rapidly
From Obscurity and Poverty to
Prominence Mild Wealth.
Augusta, Ga., March 20. Patrick
Walsh, former United States senator
and mayor of this city, is dead from
nervous prostration. His illness lasted
just three months. It was Dec. 17 that
he went to bed, and except for sitting
up sometimes for an ltonr oy so, he has
never been up since. He suffered com
plete nervous prostration, and there has
been scarcely any hope of his recovery
for weeks past. I
The remains lay in state at St. Pat
rick’s church today. The funeral oc
curred at 3:30. Public Lusines was sus
pended. Public buildings and private
buildings in the business portion of the
city were draped in mourning.
Bishop Becker conducted the religious
funeral exercises at the Church of the
Sacred Heart. The oration was made
by Rev. John Breslan of Charleston.
The city council, in session at 3 o’clock,
passed resolutions of regret. All city
officials and employes attended the fu
neral in a body. Courts here adjourned
and officials and attaches went to the
funeral in a body.
Telegrams of condolence are pouring
in from every section of the Union.
Patrick Walsh was born on Jan. 1,
1840, at Balliugary, Ireland. At the
age of 12 he came with his parents to
Charleston and during the war came a
journeyman printer to Augusta. He
worked at the case in The Constitution
alist office, assisting to support his
father and mother.
Gradually he rose, by his own efforts
and sheer merit, until he became the
head of The Chronicle, one of Augusta’s
leading citizens and a man of national
reputation. In 1870 he held his first
public office, having been that year
elected a member of the city council.
From 1872 to 1888 he was a member of
the state legislature, and in 1894 he was
appointed United States senator to fill
the unexpired term of the lamented
General Colquitt. During all this time
he was foremost in every movement
looking to the upbuilding of Augusta.
To all this and care of his paper was
i added the management of extensive pri
vate business.
CYCLONE KILLS A FAMILY.
Terrible Hurricane Sweeps Over Cle
burne County, Alabama.
Edwardsville, Ala., March 20.— A
terrific cyclone, leaving death and de
struction in its path, swept over Cle
burne county about nightfall. Lewis
Coffee, his wife and eight children, the
latter ranging in age from 4 to 26 years,
were killed at this place.
Coffee was 55 years old, and was for
years justice of the peace, tax collector
and assessor in Cleburne county. He
was a brave confederate soldier, going
out in the Twenty-second Alabama reg
iment, Company E, under Captain
Northcut. He lost a limb in the war.
The cyclone struck near Edwardsville
about 6 o’clock. It was funnel-shaped,
and had intense force, and was from
100 to 300 yards wide, aud it is esti
mated that it went about 12 miles.
Immediately after demolishing the
Coffee family aud home the storm struck
the residence of J. W. Wilder. It was
completely destroyed, but he nor auy of
his family were at home at the time.
Andrew Stiepan’s home went down
next. Mrs. Stiepan and her littie baby
were caught beneath logs and both se
riously injured.
J. H. Car-on's residence was nexf torn
asunder, aud his wife, Mrs. Runnells,
his morher-in-taw, and Tommie and
Lizzie Runnells. were all hurt, Mrs.
Runnells fatally so.
Ben Staussll, a negro, lost his log
home. He was not at home at the time,
but his wife and five children were, and
ail were hurt—Myrline, a 5-year-old
girl, fatally.
The cyclone at this point broke
against a mountain and went toward
Muskadine, 8 miles east of here, where
Hooper’s big grist mill was blowtf down.
From all that can be learned the cy
clone originated at Iron City, 12 miles
west of hbre, and two clouds forming
the funnel shaped one, got together
just ahead of Coffee’s house.
Near Heflin a white woman, whose
uaine cannot be learned, was killed, and
five persons iu the same family hurt.
It is estimated that about 50 buildings
were destroyed and between 20 and 25
persons injured aud over a score of
farms devastated.

Birmingham, Ala., March 20. —Aider
man John L. Parker announces his
withdrawal from the race for mayor of
Birmingham. This leaves the contest
between Alderman Mel Dreunen and
Ross C. Smith. Parker’s principal
workers have already announced for
Smith, and Smith’s managers claim he
will get 75 pr cent of the Parker fol
lowing, which they say insures Smith’s
success. The Drenuen men deny this
olaim. Registration has closed. The

ADDRESS TO NATIVES
DRAFTED AT MANILA
}
Insurgents Requested to Lay
Down Their Arms.
OUR COMMISSIONERS ACT
Filipinos Assured of tile Intention of
the United Mtatei to Develop the
Powers of Self Government In the
People of the Islands.
New York, March 22. —The Journal’s
Manila correspondent cables today that
the address to the natives of the Philip
pine islands, drafted by the American
commission in behalf of the United
States and embodying the views of the
president, has been made public. After
being translated into all the native
dialects it is to be disseminated through
out the archipelago.
The address assures the Filipinos of
the intention of the Americans to de
velop the powers of self government in
the people. It explains that the United
States has assumed international obli
gations which it must fulfill and which
makes it responsible to the whole civil
ized world for the stable government of
the Philippines.
The commission, it is explained, is to
interpret to tho natives the purposes
and intentions of the president toward
them and also suggest rite establish
ment of such a government as shall suit
the capacity and requirements of the
Filipinos and be consistent with the in
terests of the United States.
*The protection of the United States is
not to be exercised in any spirit of ty
ranny or vengeance; but having de
stroyed the Spanish power and accepted
the sovereignty of, the islands, the
United States is bound to restore peace
in the Philippines.
To this end all insurgents nre invited
to lay down their arms and place their
trust in the government that emanated
from the oppression of Spanish rule.
The majority of the commissioners
incline toward to giving the Filipinos a
sort of tribal or provincial local auton
omy under a’central government w hich
shall be military until a purely civil sys
tem is proved to be feasible.
AGUINALDO LEADS HIS MEN.
Rebel header Will Personally Conduct
the Reserves at Mulolos.
Manila, March 22.—While apparently
inactive since Sundav, really the oppo
site has been the case with the Ameri
can forces. A reorganization, entailing
many changes, has been in progress and
the flying column abandoned. General
Wheaton said General Ha’e’s brigade
has not been signed, bat the Oregon, the
Minnesota regiment and the Twenty
second iegiinent have been concentrated
at the camp on the Latuna at the water
front in readiness for immediate trans
portation when the plans otf the military
leaders have been formulated.
Onr troops are entrenched and the
situation is practically unchanged. The
enemy has refrained from making auy
attacks recently and it w'ould appear
that the rebels are saving their ammu
nition for a decisive movement.
According to a prisoner captured by
cur troops, ♦Aguinaldo has announced
that he will personally conduct the re
serves at Malolos and march on Manila
within 20 days until the Americans
withdraw' in the meantime. The con
centration of rebel forces in the vicinity
of Malabon gives color to the statement
of the prisoner.
Advices received from Cebu by a
coasting steamer say every thing is quiet
there. The United States transport
Sherman from New York Feb. 8 has
arrived here. One child, two sailors
and two privates died on the voyage and
one man was drowned in the Mediter
ranean.
Reports of fighting in the island of
Negros, without any particulars, have
reached Manila.

Hundred Members of an Expedition
Killed In the Sahara.
Algiers, March 2a.—The Telegramme
Algerien announces that a number of
Arabs arrived at Ghardeia and that
they were raiding the country. Ghar
deia is situated about 800 miles south of
Algiers in the Sahara.
If is further announced that a party
of Touraregs recently attacked a Euro
pean expedition which was on its way
to Air, in the Sahara, and that after a
fierce fight the Touraregs were beaten
off. The expedition lost 100 men killed

The paper quoted adds that the expe
dition must be Fourieau-Lay’s mission,
which is said to be the only European
expedition at present in the Sahara.
When last heard from it had arrived
at the town of Ascen.
Moreover, it is said, in conclusion,
there are certain other grave indications
tending to confirm the news.
Steamer Atlanta Released.
Racine, Wis., March 22.—The Good
rich steamer Atlanta, which went
ashore yesterday, was released today, a
change of wind blowing the ice away.
She came to this port all right and later
cleared for Milwaukee.

PRESIDENT RETURNS
FROM JEKYL ISLAND
In Better Health as a Result
of His Brief Stay.
HE MAY VISIT FLORIDA
Not Yet I) -elded Whether the Party
Will Run Over to Tallahassee, but
the Start For Washington Is to Re
Made Next Week.
Brunswick, Ga., March 22.—Presi
dent McKinley and party left the de
lights of Jekyl island behind early this

to Thotuasville to complete his stay in
the south early next week. Both the

The island colony waved the president
an adieu when the revenue cutter Col
fa* with tho presidential party aboard
steamed out from the wharf down Jekyl
creek to St. Andie vs bar for a few
hours run on the waters of the sound
and Turtle river. The day was fine,
warm in the sun, but with a good breeze.
A large part of the island colony, in
cluding ex Secretary Bliss, Thomas Nel
son Page, Mr. Stiekney and Mr. N. KL
Fairbanks of Chicago, boarded the cut
ter Colfax and steamed around the har
bor with the president to Brunswick,
where they bade him adieu. Speaker
Reed remained at Jekyl at the Sansouci
apartment house.
The trip on the Colfax gave a good
opportunity to show the president the
improvements Colonel Goodyear is mak
ing m Brunswick harbor with a view
to increasing the depth of the water to
2(5 feet permanently.
The special train is awaiting the party,
which will leave here this afternoon,
reaching Thomasvtlle probably before

ton will be made early next week, ar
riving there next Tuesday or Wednes
day.
INSURANCE FIRM INDICTED.
•
True Hills Against Companies Oper
ating at Covington, Ky.
Cincinnati, March 22.— The grand
jury of Kenton county, at Covington,
Ky., returned indictments at noon to
day against the Home Life Insurance
company of New York and 42 other life
and fire companies for conspiracy, for
“banding together and fixing and main
taining a higher rare of premium than
would otherwise prevail.”
The indictment is found under the
antitrust laws of the commonwealth,
aud this action of the grand jury may
be followed by the execution of the
threat made by the underwriters at the
time of a previous indictment, to with
draw and leave Covington without in
surance.
The first indictment was returned
against the Covington agents of the
companies and broke up the under
writers’ association there. The agents
notified the county authorities that their
organization was disbanded and so aa
indictments were returned against them
that time.
No trials have been had under the
first indictments. Insurance companies
have withdrawn from some Kentucky
towns because ot similar prosecutions.
NO CONCESSIONS GRANTED.
Attorney General Griggs Advises Sec
retary Alger to Hold Off.
W ashington, March 22. Attorney
General Griggs will advise Secretary
Alger to grant no concessions of any
character in Cuba. He has under con
sideration several questions in connec
tion with desired concessions in Cuba,
but he will determine them adversely to
the applicants.
In his opinion relative to the contract
relations between Dady & Cos. and the
city of Havana, the attorney general de
clares “the administration of the United
States in Cuba is of a military nature
and merely temporary. No action bind
ing the island or any of its municipali
ties to large expenditure and continuing
debt ought to be made except upon
grounds of immediate necessity.”
